help, radiator hose rubbing BOV issue

I just had a shop installed my aem intake and the instruction said something about rotating the BOV to the firewall so it wont rub the radiator hose. the shop that installed it left the radator hose rubbing the BoV. will it be a problem? and will the heat from either two melt each other or something?

No, you will be fine. I've had my Synapse BOV(the big one) installed and it rubs against my radiator hose. If anything, all it does is just lift up the hose just a tad bit.

you will be fine. however, i would change all of your hose clamps to tbolt style to prevent blow off. meaning all your hose clamps from intake through to throttle body.

I just commented on your other thread bro. Looks like that vac line is pinched and that would cause your fluttering problem. Rotate the bov in an orientation to where nothing is pushing against the nipple and the line.
